While stopped at a stop sign, a car struck my Voyager in the center of the front bumper. The other car was moving at 35 mph and my bumper was pushed into the radiator 10-12 inches and the frame was bent. Neither airbag deployed. The dealer which repaired my Voyager said the sensors were located to either side of the impact, and since no contact was made with them... the airbags won't deploy. My complaint is that they should have deployed under such an impact. I now wonder if they will in another accident.

The service man (mac) at the dealership where the van was repaired told us the reason for the airbag light coming on for no reason was because of a bad clock spring. He said that this could cause the airbag to possibly not deploy in an accident and/or even deploy when you're just driving down the road. Our thoughts immediately were safety related and contacted DaimlerChrysler who sent me an email telling me the recall process. They also agreed to pay for the part only, we paid for labor. We were wondering how a part could go bad that was never used?

I had contacted dealer about problem while vehicle was on extended warranty, I was told that air bag failures were not covered by extended coverage nor covered by manufacturer because of ntsa issues. I now drive a vehicle that I consider unsafe to be in because the manufacturer will not take responsibility for repairs. Isn't this a safety issue that the ntsa should force the manufacture to take responsibility for"?"
